I was so bummed out that the Pearlridge location of Hot Dog on a Stick shut down last month so I had to get my own fried goodness feast at my beloved Windward Mall. The zucchini and fish platters were perfect and because the cheddar cheese dog was so small, the staff gave us an extra one on the house. This is the last location on Oahu. Please support this Kaneohe business. #bigboyproblems read more

We're glad that Hot Dog on a Stick reopened last fall. Their fish and zucchini plate is my favorite. But you can't leave without ordering a hot dog and lemonade too.

Went to Hog Dog on a Stick, as their corn dogs are very unique. Crunchy on the outside batter & soft batter fried with the delicious dog waiting on the inside. Had the fish & chips which are very good! Love their Lemon aid! Located in the food court in Windward mall , next to the public restrooms. Service was friendly & looking in the prep area & serving areas looked clean. Only find this hot dog on a stick restaurants in a mall. read more

The hubby grabbed a lemonade from here. They have a new flavor, dragonfruit. It comes in regular and frozen. He got the regular $4.79 plus $0.99 for the dragonfruit syrup. I would have preferred the frozen lemonade instead. It was really good and not overly sweet. He said it tasted like Kool Aid, but I didn't think so. It was fruity with a hint of sweetness and tartness to it. read more

My review is for their CUSTOMER SERVICE. Good is still great. But service has really gone downhill lately. Been here multiple times over the last few weeks and EVERY time I get a girl who WILL NOT smile out look remotely interested in their customers. And it's not just 1 worker... but every one we've encountered. They just stand there and glare at customers. If you ask for something, they sigh... then begrudgingly get it for you. Mgt should look into the ppl they hire, they look like they hate their job. They're tarnishing this company's otherwise great reputation. read more

Wow what's going on with Hot dog on a stick? We put in what was considered to be a simple order. A corn dog, fries and a large frozen lemonade. We put the order online and it said wait time would be an hour and a half. We were ok with that since we had stuff to do. About 25 minutes later we were notified the food was ready. I went to grab the order and was handed one bag with no drink. I asked if I could also get the lemonade with my order. The girl goes to make the lemonade and she hands back the wrong drink. After explaining to her that the drink was wrong she asks if I can just take that one. I told her no because we paid for a frozen lemonade. They take back the regular lemonade and pour it back into the mixer with the rest of the lemonade and then she hands me my frozen lemonade. I could clearly tell she didn't want to be bothered. I go back to my table and the the frozen lemonade is crazy sour. lol I will not fault that as that leads me to believe the lemonade is made from real lemons but it was pucker worthy. Girlfriend ate a third of the fridays and had to tap out cause it was too salty and overcooked. I'm sorry but today's experience has left me with a sour taste in my mouth and I haven't had a sip of my lemonade since I started writing this review. I told my girlfriend we're putting the HDOS on a one year timeout. Even though we didn't take a sip of the lemonade, pouring it back into the mixer doesn't make for good optics if people when people don't have the whole story. They happily exchanged the fries so I will mention that for transparency. You can also smell the funnel cake on the fries. It kinda has a funnel cake taste to it too. I found that interesting I think they use the same fryer for both. read more

Service was very friendly. The girl at the counter was very sweet and understanding as I left my ordering halfway to check on my son making sure he's OK lol. However, their hot dog on a stick tasted so different from how I remember it from years ago. The batter was not good anymore, and it's not as crunchy even after they fried it till darker brown. I wouldn't go back. read more

My daughter was craving hot dogs on a stick. I guess she's picky about what she eats. She wanted 3 of them . She only ate 2 and saved the 3rd one for home. I ended up waiting for around 5 minutes. My daughter got a cherry limeade to drink. Their drinks are pretty good. Their food is pretty good. Service was pretty quick. There are plenty of tables in the food court to enjoy your food. My daughter definitely likes this place when she craves a hot dog. Located in the food court at Windward mall. You can't miss it. A good place to treat your little ones. read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - Regular cherry limeade - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Seeing all the other yelp elites at Texas de Brazil at an event I was waitlisted for... :( so I decided to go to Hot dog on a stick. I've never actually eaten here before even though I've been to Windward mall probably a hundred times. My husband always suggests eating here, but I always say no lol. Today I found out that it's actually pretty popular. They had a line and were making things to order, so we waited about 10 minutes after ordering for our food. They have corn dogs, fried fish, fried zucchini and fries. We ordered the fish and zucchini, but it doesn't come with fries, so we got an order of fries too. And a large lemonade. It came out to like $27! It was a lot of fried food and tartar sauce, but I still thought it was a bit pricey. At least it was hot. I definitely couldn't eat this everyday or even once a week. I might be back, but I wish they seasoned the fish or zucchini a bit more. I'm also glad it comes with tartar and ranch sauce, but I also wish they offered malt vinegar. Hot dog on a stick is in the corner of the food court that shares a bunch of tables with a bunch of other establishments. There's plenty of other options in the Windward mall food court. read more

It was a unique experience I had with the cute uniform staff wore. When I got there there's no queue stood behind counter waiting for the two young girls who were chatting among themselves that was nice to know get know each other....I stood there waiting to put my order in. Ordered plain on a stick. I watch on how my hotdog on a stick are cooked. When my order was ready I was the only one that ordered she hurriedly walked toward the pick up snd placed my ordered on the counter! That it? My first time ordering hotdog on a stick if my memory are correct I asked where the condiments are..only to see it in front of me. Tutu me I am used to the old school hot dog on a stick or waffle dog.,..my apology but I doubt it if I'll ever go back it was large and tasty see photo .. for some reason I can't upload the photo of my ordered read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - Karl with a "K" made out experience exceptional! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

This place used to be one of my favorite places to eat at the mall. But now I'm not so sure anymore. The service was excellent and fast. BUT, my fried zucchini was horrible. When you're jonesing for something only to get home and be disappointed, it makes you question whether they changed the way they prepared the food or they made a mistake by using the wrong batter. The zucchini's used to be made with a batter that made it crispy on the outside. Today, when I opened my box as soon as I got home, there were 6 pieces of zucchini's that looked like cheese sticks (minus the sticks). After biting into it, the bread was so thick, it was like eating a zucchini wrapped with a pancake. After paying $15+ for a zucchini plate and small lemonade only to be disappointed, I don't know if I'll take my chance again eating there. I give it 2 stars for the wonderful customer service. read more

Love this place. Fast service and great food options. The lemonade is so refreshing and the zucchini is my favorite.

This place.... Brings back memories of our Intermediate years at King. We all used to go after school and hang out. Still there and still taste the same. Just some price increase over the years. Which is automatic. The staff is always nice and the food is done quickly. Personal favs.. hot dog on a stick, fries, deep friend zucchini and cherry lemon aid. Always the go to place to eat in the Food Court! read more

I haven't had HDOS for years because it's so far and there's only one location on this island. There's tons of parking at the mall but a huge portion of it is always blocked off, so the closest parking is probably Macy's if you're just going to the food court. My favorites are the corn dog, lemonades, and of course the fish and zucchini plate. They're all pretty reasonably priced. However, I wish they still sold the gallon lemonade because I need my drive to be worth it! Lol! They have pexi glass between you and the worker. You insert your payment in a basket and they will take it from there. There's also social distancing markers on the floor but we found it quite confusing one day, and awkwardly funny how the line formed the wrong way and I happened to be standing in the middle of the correct line waiting for my food. The workers are always really friendly and It comes out pretty fast. read more

Honestly the girl who works the front needs to be re-trained customer service. Literally the worst one there to be working the cashier. You're the first one customers see, have some class & represent your job as best you could. A smile goes a long way but with the hat on your head, I guess I would be mad too. Despite that, the corn dog was too dark & overcooked in my opinion. read more

I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet. Still one of my favorite places in the food court. You order. The people who take your order are helpful. They give you your order. No drama :) read more

So my first job in High School was Hot Dog on a Stick. Actually hired at two jobs the same day and my work ethic and motivation had me doing both and maintaining honors in high school. So, a little Hot Dog on a Stick history: Once upon a time in 1946 on the beautiful beach in sunny Santa Monica, a man named Dave Barham opened a food stand that would become an American icon. Originally called Party Puffs, the bright red barnlike stand served ice cream cones and lemonade but that all changed when, using his mom's cornbread recipe, Dave perfected the Hot Dog on a Stick. To highlight this new menu staple, he changed the name of his stand to Hot Dog on a Stick. Next, he took his products on the road and started selling at county fairs using his Lincoln Continental as a generator. After that, Hot Dog on a Stick took to the malls. While they have clearly come a long way, that famous Muscle Beach location is still selling made-to-order Hot Dogs on a Stick and fresh hand-stomped lemonade today. Let's see, what else? Oh, their fantastic uniforms! How could we forget? During the early days of Hot Dog on a Stick, Hotdoggers wore polka dots but eventually changed to the famous and iconic outfits everyone knows and loves today. Bright and eye catching striped uniforms are "Red, White and Blue with a Splash of Lemonade." They had a TON of pride in them as they stand for their commitment to exceptional smiling customer service. And, fun fact, the hats are so coveted that they are never supposed to leave the store. If you want to get your hands on one, the stores had have fun paper replicas! :) Needless to say, I know Hot Dog on a Stick. I was promoted quickly and was an Assistant Manager. The big pride is fast, fresh, and friendly. Lemonade must be drained completely every two hours and a fresh batch. The batter also made fresh and similar policy. We drove all the way from Ewa on a Saturday to come and have fish and zucchini. Well disappointed they were out. In my day we would go to the distributor or grocery store to ensure we were stocked, this wasn't acceptable. The service was snarky, very disappointing. The lemonade, watery and not liked by any of us. Kid's meals are no more, and Ala carte is their only way. I believe change is good, but these weren't positive changes. The uniform no longer stands and it's just a hat and shirt. Watching the employees walk around the front drinking their Blazin' Steaks and no hat wasn't charming either. It's sad to see this establishment drop so low. I guess we won't be doing another 50 minute drive for that anytime soon. :/ read more

What happened to their lemonade??? I've noticed that the flavor has consistently gone down hill over the past few years. I remember when their lemonade had a delicious tart flavor, that was unique to this brand. Went there over the weekend and the lemonade tasted like severely watered down, lemon water. Disgusting!!!! Not sure what happened to this place, but the pearl-ridge location is just as bad. Serving watered down drinks, with just a hint of lemon flavor. So sad... read more

Being that this is the only Hot Dog on a Stick on the Island, it brings people from all over the island when they crave for their famous fresh lemonade or corn dog or battered zucchini or fish. I now get the less sugared lemonade by getting the lemonade lite which I believe use Splenda. They have turkey dogs or Nathan hot dog for their hot dog on the stick. Their French fries are on the thinner size and light and crispy. The funnel sticks are sprinkled with powder sugar but they are delicious! I used to like their zucchini and fish sticks but lately I didn't like the thick battered and it was more doughy than crispy. I didn't care for it at all. My friend said it's not the batter but perhaps it depends on how the worker dip it in the batter? They have a new app that requires you to download first and register your phone number so you can just use your phone number when ordering to earn points. I do miss them not wearing their tall hat like before but I heard it's hard to find hire help because they don't want to wear it. Now I see them wearing a baseball HDOS cap! The fresh lemonade is always the bomb and I always look forward going to Windward Mall just for that! Thanks for reading my review:) read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - Spicy batter with Jalapeño fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Haven't been to one of these in years. Unfortunately it wasn't the same as I remembered. I was thinking the batter would be a little crispy on the outside on the corn dog. Dipped cheese seemed to be lacking on the cheese. Even the lemonade lacked in the lemon flavor. read more

So I decided to try HDOS again on a busy Sunday at noon. Why? Because 2 days ago on 4/14/23, a Friday at 5:30 pm, the crew SUCKED. They were rude. Unpleasant. Acted like the job was a grudge. And I yelped my bad service experience. However, the HDOS & Cherry Lemonades should not be blamed right! They were great. Today ...REDEMPTION!! Girl at the register...awesome, pleasant, kind, helpful!! 10 Stars. DANIEL, on the deep fryer & food pass...awesome, helpful, smiling, pleasant!! 99 Stars. And they kept up with all the incoming orders in all its busy chaos. HDOS take care of THIS Crew. They're Awesome!!! Maybe they can train the sucky JAMIE crew on Fridays??? Hahaha :) And the HDOS, fries, lemonades...all get 10's !! read more

I'd travel to the Windward side for their Funnel cake fries! Now, every time I shop at Windward mall, hot dogs aren't what I usually crave for but my kiddo picked this spot. Hot dog was super hot so we waited for a little until it cooled down. There was cheese inside. Got some delicious French fries as well. All in all, I'd come back this way for the funnel cake fries! They had the perfect amount of sugar and crispiness! read more

Hot dog on a stick was quiet the place to come to let me first start off by saying their lemonade tastes great not to sweet and not to acidic as well. Fried zucchini and fish was great however the corn dog cheese stick wasn't the business. The center was cold and the cheese itself wasn't as much as I thought it'd be. All in all a great place to grab and go for a meal. I highly recommend their lemonade if your thirsty and want something that's quiet refreshing. read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - Fish & Zucchini Platter - Hot Dogs Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

I love it here, I have been coming periodically for about a year now and have consistently had great experiences, so wanted to express my appreciation... Sometimes I really crave deep fried food... and their deep fried zucchini sticks platter really satisfies that craving. They give big sticks of zucchini, ranch sauce, and a lemon slice or two. Let me tell you, the fried zucchini is truly one of my favorite indulgent foods. It can get very busy and the line can be long, but this has never affected the quality of customer service or food I've bought. I understand that the employees are working as fast as they can and I honestly really appreciate them for doing what they do. One time I got a plate where the batter was a little darker brown than usual, but I don't really mind that, it was far from inedible. It's worth the drive from Honolulu; I love coming here for my deep fried food cravings! read more

One of my favorite spots to eat at when I'm at Windward Mall. Hot Dog on a Stick has been a go to past time for me since I was very young. This place has been at this mall since the founding of it. The food and lemonade here hasn't changed. It all tastes the same as it was when I was young. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well. I I highly recommend all of the food, and especially the lemonade too. I always get the fish and zucchini platter. The hot dog on a stick is delicious, and so are the fries too! The next time you're at Windward Mall, stop by the food court and have some Hot Dog on a stick. Trust me...you won't be disappointed at all. read more

Hot Funnel On A Stick My first time here! Forget the Hot Dog, its all about the Funnel Cake Sticks here! They're warm, sweet, soft, and pampered with just the right amount of powdery love! I did get a Pepper Jack Cheese on a stick which was nice and gooey. I like how the food here is simple but so go good! Let me get back to those funnel sticks tho lol, they're cakey, they're like french fries, (seriously I was eating em like fries!) and I was stuffing 3 at a time into my piggy mouth lol. I wondered why I never "discovered" this place any sooner! I dont like donuts, but this, THIS, this "Windward Treat" I can "funnel" into my mouthy reppetoire of munchable pleasures!

Carl- what a gem of a guy! Did a mobile order on the HDOAS app and got updated quickly after I placed the order, that they have the zucchini & fish fryer turned off around 7:00PM. He called me and let me know what happened & quickly offered substitution & a comp coupon for the zucchini & fish plate (or any single item besides the sampler platter) next visit to remedy the situation. He substituted with stick items, added an ext extra drink and upgraded the size of the drinks too at no charge! Loved this level of effort for customer satisfaction and quite frankly- best I've ever received from a fast casual restaurant! Tip: Don't try to order fish & zucchini past 7:00PM or 1-2hrs before they close the shop y'all. read more

After hosting a Yelp Families event at Windward Mall, I was sooooo excited to have Hot Dog on a Stick for lunch! I ordered the sampler platter which comes with four stick items of your choice and a side of your choice. I decided on four turkey dogs, and since I knew my kids would not eat zucchini sticks (my personal favorite), I opted for a giant cup of french fries. I also got the regular and frozen lemonade for my kids as well. Our lunch was PERFECT. And I wish I could eat like this every single day without gaining weight or worrying about what all that oil will do to my heart. Ugh, why are foods on a stick so wonderful?! I docked one star because the condiment pumps are insanely hard to pump and the workers no longer wear their awesome infamous tall hotdog on a stick hats. I asked the manager why they had different hats, and she replied it was because it was too hard to get anyone to work at the stand because no one wanted to wear the signature hat. Booooooo... I personally think the signature uniform is AMAZING on every level and part of the experience. But I get it... read more

I wanted to buy a Hotdog on stick, French fries and a regular lemonade but I noticed there was a handwritten sign taped to tip jar saying that they only serving Hotdogs and that the French Fry fryer was closed so French Fries, Zucchini and Fish were unavailable. I purchased a hotdog on stick and a large lemonade. It was 6:18pm and it appeared that they were preparing to close. I watched (3) female employees wiping down and putting things away from the front and not one of them seemed to care that my hotdog on stick was cooking. After 10 minutes, I observe the female cashier walk over to the fryer and it appeared that my hotdog on stick was overcooked and she had to put a new one in the fryer. I waited 18 minutes for my order and the female employee with bright colored hair seemed unfazed that I waited so long and did not apologize or even explain why I had to wait so long. She just yelled out my order number and walked away when I grabbed my food. She was so unprofessional and the lemonade she gave me was so watered down that I could barely taste and lemon. (3) employees and none of them showed any interest to the customers that were waiting for their food. read more

I don't see the thrill of a hot dog being on a stick but it makes my hubby giddy as a school boy whenever I mention this place. He loves it and every time we're on the windward side we always have to come here. Today I stopped by to pick up a cherry limeade, hot dog and jalapeño cheese stick for my other half. Upgrade the limeade to a souvenir cup for a dollar more, why not. The thought of anything deep fried makes my arteries scared but this place isn't that bad. Their hot dogs and cheese sticks are quite crisp but I can only eat there once, maybe twice a year unlike my hubby who would eat here everyday if he could. Paying over $3 each for a deep fried item that clogs my arteries is a cringing thought. However, I really do enjoy their lemonades, it is quite tasty and refreshing. read more

Whenever I visit Windward Mall, I have to get something from Hot Dog on a Stick! Its located in the food court right next to the bathrooms. The line is always long and you're right in the busy walk way... My go to is definitely a lime lemonade and zucchini. Lime lemonade has always been a huge fave of mine for some reason and it's not a thing you can find anywhere. Zucchini is good, but probably not good when dipped in batter then fried, but who cares? It's super oily, and that's probably my only complaint. But again, it's fried! On our recent visit, I got the combo that included choice of 4 stick items and a side. With that combo I requested 2 beef dogs, a turkey and a cheese stick. First time trying the cheese, and it was awesome! Like a grilled cheese on a Stick. For the side I ordered the funnel cake fries. Who doesn't love funnel cake? Funnel cake in a fry form, ok that's just bananas! The best thing invented since sliced bread? Funnel cake fries y'all! Again, oily... But so goooddd! We loved everything, except the oil. What can ya do? This is just one of those things where I'm glad it's on the other side of the island. All in moderation! The prices are decent, the foods real good (not good for ya), and all the drinks are yummy too! I'd recommend this place but only if you're not worried about your waist line. Everything is battered, fried, and sweetened! Dieters, steer clear of this one! read more
